Daveiga is a worker-owned artisanal bakery based in Galicia, Spain, best known for its traditional Mariñeiras (Galician ship biscuits). The company produces crackers inspired by historic sailor’s bread, originally designed for long sea voyages and made to keep for extended periods. It operates as an employee-owned cooperative, with workers sharing ownership and decision-making in the business. The crackers are made using simple, natural ingredients like wheat flour, olive oil, and sea salt, then twice-baked to achieve a crisp texture and long shelf life without preservatives. This slow baking process gives them a light, toasted flavour and sturdy structure, making them ideal for pairing with cheeses, spreads, and soups. Daveiga combines Galicia’s culinary heritage with a cooperative model and traditional baking methods, preserving a historic recipe while maintaining a strong focus on quality and sustainability.
